The Boston Sailing Center is kicking off their 24th year of Frostbite Racing in Boston Harbor! With an anticipated 18 J/24’s on the line again this season, there is space for a few new teams in this often sold out program. Racing begins on Saturday, November 7th and runs until March 26th. Racing is held in Boston’s Inner Harbor so teams can rig and be at the racing area in less than 30 minutes. The first race is at noon and boats are typically back to the dock before 4pm. Post-race wrap-ups feature video review of the day’s racing and a de-brief with race committee or guest speakers, along with spirits and chili. It’s a great way to keep your skills sharp in the offseason, and the Center provides the boats!
Contact the Boston Sailing Center if you would like to get involved. There is availability for either full time or half-time teams, as well as an extensive crew list. There are always opportunities to crew, so let the BSC know if you’re looking to get a spot on a team, or just sail for a Saturday or two.

The Boston Sailing Center also offers two levels of Racing Classes for those new to racing, or for the seasoned skipper. http://www.bostonsailingcenter.com/instruction/racing.asp
